Emergency Procedures
Personal protection in case
of a large spill
Immediately contact emergency personnel. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use suitable
protective equipment (See Section: "Exposure controls/personal protection"). Follow all fire fighting
procedures (See Section: "Fire-fighting measures").
Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient;
consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
6 . Accidental release measures
If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills add absorbent (soil
may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) scoop up material and place in a sealed, liquid-
proof container for disposal. For large spills dike spilled material or otherwise contain material to
ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for
disposal. Avoid contact of spilt material with soil and prevent runoff entering surface waterways. See
Section 13 for Waste Disposal Information.

7 .
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
Combustibility Classification Combustible liquid Class C2 (AS 1940).
Ingredient name Occupational exposure limits
8 . Exposure controls/personal protection
Mixture. Contains Mineral oil, mist NOHSC (Australia).
TWA: 5 mg/m
3
8 hour(s). Form: Oil mist, mineral
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant airborne concentrations
below their respective occupational exposure limits.
Control Measures
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking
and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Hygiene measures
Biological Limit Values No biological limit allocated.
Personal protective equipment
Avoid breathing of vapours, mists or spray. Select and use respirators in accordance with AS/NZS
1715/1716. When mists or vapours exceed the exposure standards then the use of the following is
recommended: Approved respirator with organic vapour and dust/mist (Type P1) filters. Filter capacity
and respirator type depends on exposure level.
Respiratory system
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wear protective clothing if prolonged or repeated
contact is likely.
Skin and body
Recommended: nitrile gloves The correct choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals
being handled, the conditions of work and use, and the condition of the gloves (even the best
chemically resistant glove will break down after repeated chemical exposures). Most gloves provide
only a short time of protection before they must be discarded and replaced. Because specific work
environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each
intended application. Gloves should therefore be chosen in consultation with the supplier/manufacturer
and with a full assessment of the working conditions.
Hands
Safety glasses with side shields. Eyes
Whilst specific OELs for certain components are included in this SDS, it should be noted that other components of the preparation will be
present in any mist, vapour or dust produced. For this reason, the specific OELs may not be applicable to the product and are provided for
guidance purposes.

Toxicological information 11 .
Effects and symptoms
Eyes Unlikely to cause more than transient stinging or redness if accidental eye contact occurs.
Unlikely to cause harm to the skin on brief or occasional contact but prolonged or repeated exposure
may lead to dermatitis.
Skin
Inhalation At normal ambient temperatures this product will be unlikely to present an inhalation hazard because of
its low volatility.
May cause irritation to eyes, nose and throat due to exposure to vapour, mists or fumes.
May be harmful by inhalation if exposure to vapour, mists or fumes resulting from thermal
decomposition products occurs.
Unlikely to cause harm if accidentally swallowed in small doses, though larger quantities may cause
nausea and diarrhoea.
Ingestion
Other acute toxicity data USED ENGINE OILS
Combustion products resulting from the operation of internal combustion engines contaminate engine
oils during use. Used engine oil may contain hazardous components which have the potential to cause
skin cancer. Frequent or prolonged contact with all types and makes of used engine oil must therefore
be avoided and a high standard of personal hygiene maintained.
Chronic toxicity
No component of this product at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identified as a carcinogen by
ACGIH, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the European Commission (EC), or
the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (Australia).
